eLearning designers are often faced with complex training topics
that are difficult to deliver concisely. The results are lengthy courses that
are counter to the needs of today’s learners, who need to be extremely
efficient with their time. To deliver learning to this audience means being
very concise in both content and course design, while still having impact and
not sacrificing instructional integrity.

In this session you will learn a practical strategy for keeping
learning concise while remaining impactful, engaging and retaining its intent.
You will engage realistic examples of how measures have been effectively
implemented during four stages of the instructional design process: 1. Identify
appropriate learning objectives and exclude the extraneous objectives. 2.
Manage stakeholder, subject matter expert (SME), and design team expectations.
3. Prioritize content into levels of must know, good to know, and nice to know.
4. Streamline the content, language, and course interface.
